Nice....I've often wondered if there were cameras on them...they look like "redbull" material. Any of them spinning or are the tree huggers protesting the chopping up of sparrows?

Thanks Suz! A few have the first proposed project tied up, but they missed this second project. John Deere Wind Energy planted these (about 30) last year over a 5 square miles area. They are now officially turned on and spinning. I desperately wanted to take some photos of them so I drove out there after work this evening to get some -- the weather was perfect.

Um...Suz I bet moving wind pylons are more of a challenge than HV line pylons -- Go Red Bull!

Awesome shot! I can see several of these turbines from my living room window. I'm glad to have green energy in my backyard. This is the best shot I've seen yet.
